Split Columns

hello_MTC_0-1652073862719.png

 

Above attached is the column of address and that is the only column i have in my database.

I want to split the column by country, state and city. Since the values are not properly merged i do not understand how to seperate the columns. Please help. Thanks in advance!

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

@hello_MTC , Based on my obervation.

First Create a new column

Text.Combine(List.Reverse(Text.Split([Address], ",")), ",")

 

//I am assuming this will country, state, city, Address order

 

And then Split by delimiters into column into 4/5 columns as suggested by @jaipal

And rename the columns

 

Thank you for your reply, You can see not all the rows have unique. Some has address,city,state and country and some has only city,state and country.

I need only City, State and Country.
